In your experience, how necessary are these particular parts in a rebuild?

The overpriced dealer rebuild kit is overkill. The most common problem with these valves is they start leaking, either internally or leaking out of the valve. The parts in the valve rarely break or go bad. They really don't take a whole lot of stress. The valves really just need to be resealed. I've sold well over 100 of these kits over the past couple years and no one has come back and said it didn't fix the saggy rear end. If you need a kit let me know.
